Car wraps are a great way to promote your business; as attractive, high-resolution advertising signs capable of being installed on any size car or truck, they work for you even when you’ve punched out, increasing your local brand visibility. In fact, studies have shown that car wraps are more effective than radio advertising and billboards. According to the custom sign team at Burchette Sign Corporation, which serves the Winston, Salem, Greensboro, and Charlotte, NC, areas, car wraps can provide years of effective and completely customized advertising.

How do you take care of your car wrap and ensure that your investment lasts?

• Don't: The Colfax custom sign experts recommend that you treat the wrap the way you would a brand new paint job; this means that you should take extra care when it comes to cleaning. It’s best to avoid car washes or pressure washing, as these likely will damage the look of the wrap. When washing, do not use water that’s hotter than 180 degrees. Never use abrasive tools to clean the car, and if you’re unsure about the effect of a certain product, you can always test it on an inconspicuous corner.
• Do: Your best bet is to hand wash the vehicle with mild detergent and water, and, though it takes a little forethought, you should regularly clean the vehicle. If you want to wax it, make sure that the solution you use contains no petroleum distillates. Waxes that are a combination of waterless wash and wax are good, easy-to-use options. If you are trying to remove tougher contaminants, like bird droppings, try soaking the area in soap and water for several minutes before rinsing.

With a little extra care, though, you’ll see that car wraps are an amazing investment, and there’s no company in North Carolina better prepared to design and install one for you than Burchette Sign Corporation.
